Psalms 13

1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. Howe long wilt thou forget me, O Lord, for euer? howe long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

How long shall I take counsell within my selfe, hauing wearinesse dayly in mine heart? how long shall mine enemie be exalted aboue me?

3 Consider [and] hear me, O LORD my God: lighten my eyes, lest I sleep [the sleep] of death;

Beholde, and heare mee, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, that I sleepe not in death:

4 Lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him; [and] those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

Lest mine enemie say, I haue preuailed against him: and they that afflict me, reioyce when I slide.

5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

But I trust in thy mercie: mine heart shall reioyce in thy saluation:

6 I will sing to the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

I will sing to the Lord, because he hath delt louingly with me.
